4 Chapter 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 The standard FR 80/COMp 80 software described in this manual is distributed by Information International to customers for use on FR 80/COMp 80 systems. Programs are assembled upon request and distributed on magnetic tape in an executable binary format. 1.2 All programs are custom-assembled to match particular machine configurations and to meet particular software requirements. It is often advantageous for optional program features which are not required to be omitted to allow a larger input buffer area. It may also be necessary to assemble special versions of some programs with especially large buffers to allow the processing of large blocks of data, large forms, and/or multiple buffering. 1.3 The purpose of this document is to supply the user with a menu of programs and the assembly options available to these programs. With this information the user can request the appropriate software to meet his particular software requirements. 1.4 For each program and assembly option there is a unique assembly mumble, or Teletype message, which is produced at program assembly time. Chapter 2 describes "program mumbles" and discusses hardware assembly options. 1.5 Chapter 3 consists of individual descriptions of each of the standard production programs available. Additional information given with each program description includes Program Mumble and Available Assembly Options, a list of all of the standard software assembly options available to the particular program. 1.6 Chapter 4 consists of individual descriptions of each of the standard software assembly options available; they are listed in alphabetical order according to their respective assembly mumbles. Additional information given with each assembly option description includes Assembly Parameter, the syntax used at assembly time to include the assembly option: Core Requirements, the approximate amount of core required to include the assembly option: and Special Hardware Requirements. 1.7 Note that the core requirement specifications are approximate. A particular assembly option could require less core than specified if it uses coding previously inserted with the inclusion of another assembly option. 1-1

5 - Chapter 2 PROGRAM MUMBLES AND HARDWARE ASSEMBLY OPTIONS PROGRAM MUMBLES 2.1 Each program and assembly option has a unique assembly mumble, or Teletype message, which is produced at program assembly time. A "program mumble" is an accumulation of these messages. It indicates the program name, the hardware configuration for which the program was assembled, the software assembly options which were included in the program assembly, etc. EXAMPLE OF PROGRAM MUMBLE 2.2 A typical program appears as follows: DESCRIPTION OF EXAMPLE /AUTOMATIC CUSTOMER PROGRAM SET-UP ASSEMBLED ON APRIL 15, 1975 REVISION 3-AB WELLS ENTERPRISES #15. 7-TRACK PRINT (MON;P7) 8K III-IS FR 80 WITH 7-TRACK TAPES WITH HIGH-SPEED CHARACTERS WITH 35 M1UNSPROCKETED CAMERA NO DEBUG BIGBUF=O TAPE MONITOR PTYPE=l WITH BCD CHARACTER SET FONT=O. III FILM FONT WITH DASHED LINES WITH FORM FLASH BUFFER SIZE IS WORDS ( BIT BYTES) /AUTOMATIC CUSTOMER PROGRAM SET-UP 2.3 The first and last lines of a program mumble are always identical. In the example, the words /AUTOMATIC CUSTOMER PROGRAM SET-UP indicate that the program was assembled according to specifications maintained in a disk file. A disk file is maintained for the preparation of each user's software. This file specifies the assembly options desired for each of the programs included in the user's current software system. 2.4 The second line indicates the exact date on which the program was assembled. 2-1

6 2.5 The third line indicates the revision level of the symbolics used to assemble the binary program. Each time these symbolics are revised, the revision letters are incremented and a Software Release Notice describing the revisions is mailed to each user. 2.6 The fourth line indicates the user's company. 2.7 The fifth line indicates the program's number and name. The number relates to the program's listing in the program specifications disk file. (This number does not relate to its sequence on the system tape.) The first program name is used for tape systems. The second program name, which is enclosed in parentheses, is used for disk systems. 2.S The sixth line describes the basic hardware system. nk specifies core size, where 1 x n = 1024 IS-bit words. Next, either PDP-9L, PDP-lS, or III-IS indicates that the system has either a Digital Equipment Corporation PDP-9/L or PDP-lS, or an Information International triple-i Series 15 computer. 2.9 If a program is assembled for a disk system, WITH DISK will also be printed in the sixth line. DISK DEBUG will automatically be included The second to the last line indicates the remaining buffer size. With BIGBUF=l programs, three lines may appear (see chapter 4, BIGBUF=n). With the FR SO Displayer program, the remaining FREE SIZE will be indicated (see chapter 4, DOUBLE BUFFERED) Normally one or two lines will consist of the Program Mumble for the particular program, as given with the program's description in chapter 3. The remaining lines either indicate the inclusion of software assembly options, as described in chapter 4, or give more information about the hardware configuration Programs can be assembled for any camera. The Camera Table (below) gives the Assembly Parameter, Assembly Mumble, and core requirements for each camera When assembling for certain cameras, the assembly parameter NUMCAM can be set to 2 to include the operator command CAMERA. This requires approximately 50 words of core. With NUMCAM==2, other cameras can then be listed as secondary cameras; they can later be selected with the CAMERA command. This feature only applies to certain cameras. For each of these cameras, two core requirements are given in the table. The second number specifies the core requirements for the camera as a secondary camera. 2-2

8 PRODUCTION Chapter 3 PROGRAMS FR 80 DISPLAYER 3.1 This program processes data tapes written in the FR 80 Standard Data Format. This is the preferred format for the FR 80 because it permits the utilization of all of the FR 80's capabilities. The FR 80 has a 16K raster, eight programmable beam intensities, eight programmable beam spot sizes, 64 programmable character sizes, and two programmable image rotations. 3.2 Data input may be from either 7- or 9-track tapes. 9-track tapes must be written in core dump mode. Fiche titles may be specified on the data tape. 3.3 Operator commands are available which permit the operator to modify the image at run-time. Although the actual data cannot be changed, the appearance of the image can be enhanced. In some cases, this will eliminate the need to make modifications to the data tape on the host computer. Commands permit changes to the scaling, positioning, and rotation of the image, and modifications, through conversion tables, to the programmable intensities, spot sizes, and character sizes specified on the data tape. If desired, only particular jobs or frames may be plotted. 3.4 The forms flash capability is always present; it uses the?icture name routines (see chapter 5). 3.5 Programs may be assembled either with or without LOWER CASE (see chapter 4). 3.6 Program Mumble: WITH III CHARACTER SET or WITH III LOWERCASE CHARACTER SET 3.7 Software Assembly Options: BIGBUF=n COLOR DOUBLE BUFFERED FONT=n.

These are incremental drafting machines which may be equipped with either a single tool drafting head, a multiple tool drafting head, or an optical exposure head. The tool drafting heads hold pens and/or scribing devices. (The multiple tool drafting head has a turret which holds up to six devices.) The optical exposure head has a light source and a 24-position turret. It is used to record an image on film. Each turret position can hold a different aperture which is selectable under program control. Apertures are used either in flash mode, to expose a specific pattern, or in line drawing mode, to draw a line Data input may be from either 7- or 9-track tapes. 7-track tapes are written with 6-bit BCD character codes; 9-track tapes are written with 8-bit EBCDIC character codes Operator commands permit the operator to automatically scale and center the image, manually scale and/or center the image, select either absolute or relative coordinates, specify the apertures to be used, change the image rotation, etc The Gerber Interpreter program is available in two forms. When specifying apertures, both forms permit the specification of aperture size. With the first form, however, only four aperture shapes may be selected. These are filled round, doughnut, filled square, and cross. The second form is created by assembling with WITH FORM FLASH (see chapter 4). With this option, all apertures are designed as forms and loaded into the program. It is possible to create an aperture of any shape Programs may be assembled for either BCD or EBCDIC input codes. 3-8

26 Chapter 4 SOFTWARE ASSEMBLY OPTIONS BIGBUF=n PrGgrams may be assembled with either BIGBUF==O or BIGBUF==l. BIGBUF=O programs are the most convenient from an operations standpoint; they always have the full set of operator commands assembled into the program. Programs may be assembled with BIGBUF=l in order to create especially large buffers to allow the processing of large blocks of data, large forms, and/or multiple buffering. BIGBUF=l programs vary from BIGBUF=O programs in the following ways: 1. Many commands are available only until a GO or FORM command has been activated. This allows the operator to set a parameter, and then increases the buffer size by eliminating the command. 2. With programs assembled with the forms flash capability (see WITH FORM FLASH), three lines which refer to buffer size will appear in the program mumble. The first line will specify the buffer size with a form. The second line will specify the buffer size without a form. (If a form has not been loaded, activating the GO command will increase the buffer size by eliminating the forms displayer portion of the program.) The third line will specify the maximum form size. 3. Neither the = nor the? commands will print the current status of certain commands. 4. The SCAN JOB,FRAME,COMMAND command in the FR 80 Displayer program will not accept a parameter; it will always move the tape forward to the first valid CHECK POINT DELIMITER command. Core Requirements: 0 words with BIGBUF=O -500 to words with BIGBUF=l BIGBUF==O is considered to be basic and therefore no core requirement is given. Assembling a program with BIGBUF==l excludes certain program features and makes more core available. Special Hardware Requirements: none 4-1

27 COLOR 4.5 Includes the additive color routines for FR 80s with the additive color option. 4.6 Assembly Parameter: COLOR==l FR 80 Disp1ayer programs assembled with this option must not be assembled with TWOBUF==l. 4.7 Core Requirements: 450 words Special Hardware Requirements: additive color option DOUBLE BUFFERED 4.8 Causes programs to double buffer magnetic tape records. 4.9 This feature provides two input buffer areas which allow the program to read into one buffer while it is processing the other. This generally provides the highest throughput rate as I/O time is kept to a minimum. Also see WITH SINGLE BUFFERING Assembly Parameter: TWOBUF==l 4.11 Core Requirements: FR 80 Disp1ayer programs assembled with this option must not be assembled with either COLOR==l or COLOR==2. The FR 80 Disp1ayer normally has a buffer size of 512 words. Double buffering increases the buffer size requirements by another 512 plus 80 words. The maximum buffer size requirement, then, is 1104 words. Remaining core is designated as FREE SIZE and is used to store picture names, character descriptions, etc. FREE SIZE is specified in the Teletype assembly mumble for each FR 80 Disp1ayer. With other programs, double buffering does not require more core. The single buffer size is decreased by 80 words, and then divided into two parts Special Hardware Requirements: none 4-2

28 DOUBLE PRECISION Causes CalComp programs to do double precision arithmetic. With double precision arithmetic, the current X and Y coordinates will each be maintained in two consecutive IS-bit words. This allows coordinate values greater than 262,143 CalComp increments. With small plots, where coordinates will not be greater than this figure, a program assembled with SINGLE PRECISION may be used. Programs assembled with SINGLE PRECISION may run slightly faster than programs assembled with DOUBLE PRECISION. Also see SINGLE PRECISION.

Core requirement specifications are based upon assemblies with the Information International character set. Smaller character sets require less core. The Bell font and the two Courier fonts are available at extra cost. 4-3

29 4.17 Special Hardware Requirements: The two Courier fonts require the utility font character generator. LOAD AND GO Permits the automatic processing of multi-file data tapes with files written in one or more data formats. This option is similar to WITH GOGO (LOADG02) except that only the FR 80 Displayer, 4020 Interpreter, and META Interpreter programs and the ROTATION command may be specifiej in the header records. Also see WITH GOGO (LOADG02).

30 MAPCOM=n 4.23 Includes a particular set of operator commands. The value of n determines the makeup of the set, as follows: Assembly Core Parameter Command(s) Included ReSlts. MAPCOM==l SPOT SIZE 80,40 INTENSITY MAPCOM==2 DELTA SIZE (1 parameter) 40,30 MAPCOM==3 SPOT SIZE 110,70 INTENSITY DELTA SIZE (1 parameter) MAPCOM==4 DELTA SIZE (64 parameters) 130,80 MAPCOM==5 SPOT SIZE 200,120 INTENSITY DELTA SIZE (64 parameters) Core requirements are given for BIGBUF=O and BIGBUF=l, respectively The SPOT SIZE command may be used to set up a conversion table for all spot sizes, whether specified by the program or the data The INTENSITY command may be used to set up a conversion table for all intensities, whether specified by the program or the data. See the below The DELTA SIZE command is available in two forms. The first form accepts one parameter. This parameter, which may be positive or negative, increases or decreases all character sizes according to its value. The second form accepts up to 64 pairs of parameters. This allows the conversion of each of any number of the 64 character sizes to the particular size desired Special Hardware Requirements: none IMPORTANT S Special consideration must be given to the use of the INTENSITY command on FR 80s that have either the 64- or the 256-Intensity-Level Recording Feature. All intensity levels will be converted to one of the eight single-digit parameters of the INTENSITY command. To accomplish this, the software looks at only the three low-order bits of each intensity specification. See WITH 64 INTENSITY LEVELS and WITH 256 INTENSITY LEVELS. 4-5

31 SINGLE PRECISION 4.28 Causes CalComp programs to do single precision arithmetic With single precision arithmetic, the current X and Y coordinates will each be maintained in one la-bit word. This allows a maximum coordinate of 262,143 Ca1Comp increments. With large plots, where coordinates may become greater than this figure, double precision arithmetic will be required. Also see DOUBLE PRECISION Assembly Parameter: PRE==l 4.31 Core Requirements: ~INGLB PRECISION is considered to be a basic requirement and therefore no core requirement is given.

The parameters required to draw an arc are the radius, arc length, and starting position. In order for arcs to be displayed in a form, the arc routines must also be assembled into the program which will use the form Assembly Parameter: CIRCLE==l Core Requirements: 175 words Special Hardware Requirements: none WITH BATCH PROCESSING 4.43 Permits the automatic processing of multiple files As always, the first parameter of the GO command may be used to specify the number of frames to be recorded.

The DATA FORMAT (7 OR 9) command may be used to specify 7-track data on 9-track tapes, or vice versa. The use of this feature results in an estimated 10% decrease in throughput time Assembly Parameter: CONVRT==l Core Requirements: 10 words Special Hardware Requirements: none 4-8

34 WITH DASHED LINES Includes the dashed line routines. The dashed line routines allow you to enter dashed line mode, and then draw dashed lines using the normal vector commands. The length of the dashes, and the gaps between them, are specified upon entering dashed line mode. Dashed lines are created by repeatedly branking and unb1anking the CRT during the drawing of a single vector. There is no loss in recording time. Software timing routines are used to control the length of the dashes and the gaps. _ Because these timing routines can be interrupted, the length and placement of the dashes may not be exact. When multiple hits are required, or it is desirable to have the dashes within a number of parallel dashed lines coincide to form a grid, exact dashed lines should be used. Also see WITH EXACT DASHED LINES. In order for dashed lines to be displayed in a form, the dashed line routines must also be assembled into the program which will use the form Assembly Parameter: DASHED==l Core Requirements: 160 words Special Hardware Requirements: none WITH DOTTED LINES 4.58 Includes the dotted line routines The dotted line routines allow you to enter dotted line mode, and then draw dotted lines using the normal vector conunands. The hardware will point plot the dots. The distance between them is specified upon entering dotted line mode. In order for dotted lines to be displayed in a form, the dotted line routines must also be assembled into the program which will USe the form Assembly Parameter: DOTVEC==l Core Requirements: 190 words Special Hardware Requirements: none 4-9

35 WITH EXACT DASHED LINES 4.61 Includes the exact dashed line routines The exact dashed line routines allow you to enter exact dashed line mode, and then draw dashed lines using the normal vector commands. The length of the dashes, and the gaps between them, are specified upon entering exact dashed line mode Exact dashed lines are created by software routines which draw each dash as an individual vector. The placement of the dashes is programmable exact. The disadvantage of using these routines is that the time required to draw an exact dashed line is increased, roughly, by as many times as the number of dashes within the line. For greater speed, where exact length and placement of the dashes is not required, dashed lines should be used. Also see WITH DASHED LINES. In order for exact dashed lines to be displayed in a form, the exact dashed line routines must also be assembled into the program which will use the form Assembly Parameter: DASHED==2 Core Requirements: 230 words Special Hardware Requirements: none WITH FICHE INDEXING 4.65 Includes the fiche indexing routines and the operator command INDEX FORM The fiche indexing routines permit data to be extracted from each data page of a fiche and recorded in the index frame. The index frame appears in the lower right-hand corner of the fiche The FICHE INDEX command may be used by the operator to specify the field to be extracted from each page. With programs which accept COM control records from the data tape (see chapter 3), the field may also be specified in this manner Form design syntax is used to create the index frame. It is used to specify which portions of the field will appear, and to position them within the form. Index forms normally include column and row numbers to identify the data. The form is loaded with the INDEX FORM command by the operator. 4-10

A fiche title may consist of a number of separate messages. Each message may be placed in a different position within the title row(s), and may be recorded with a different character size. A title may also contain an incrementing fiche number The TITLE command may be used by the operator to enter fiche titles from the Teletype. With certain programs, fiche titles may also be specified on the data tape. See chapter Additional commands are used to specify the format of the fiche and to complete the titling of a partial fiche at the end of a job Also see WITH FICHE INDEXING and WITH TITLE EXTRACTION WITH OPERATOR INPUTS Assembly Parameter: TITLE==l 4-11

48 FORM Chapter 5 ASSEMBLERS S.l A universal form assembler has been developed to eliminate the need for a separate form assembler for each application program. With Revision 3 software, only two form assemblers will be required: one to assemble forms for application programs, and one to produce magnetic tape input for the FR 80 Displayer program. 5.2 The Universal Form Design assembler generates only Information International character codes, eliminating the requirement of a form assembler for each character set. Information Internati~nal character codes will be converted to tape codes the first time the form is flashed in an applications program. The assembly mumbles for the Universal Form Design assembler are UNIVERSAL FORM DESIGN and WITH ISG CHARACTER SET. 5.3 The FR 80 Form Design assembler produces magnetic tape input for the FR 80 Displayer program. The assembly mumbles for the FR 80 Form Design assembler are WITH MAG TAPE and WITH ISG CHARACTER SET. 5.4 The form assembler display feature may be omitted in order to allow a larger buffer area. In this case, there will be an assembly mumble WITHOUT FORM DISPLAY. The form assembler will type *OK when the form has been assembled, and the binary form may then be saved as usual. 5.5 Standard Software Assembly Options: BIGBUF=n COLOR FONT=n.

DISK AUDIT 6.3 This program displays the contents of the disk and may be used to delete or rename disk files. TAPE DUMP RELOADER 6.4 This program copies files from magnetic tape onto the disk. The magnetic tape must be in the Information International disk dump format, as are tapes created with the Disk Dumper program. DISK DUMPER 6.5 This program copies files from the disk onto magnetic tape. The magnetic tape is written in the Information International disk dump format. DEBUG 6.6 Debug is the basic operating system within the disk system structure. It may be used to load binary programs from the disk; to debug, modify, and/or start programs; and to file binary files onto the disk. 6.7 For debugging purposes, Debug may be used to examine and/or change cell contents, search, set break points, etc. 6-1
